For me, it has gone to normal. All the subreddits I frequented are open and populated with the exception of one which has been permanently privated, but not to protest.

Wow, that’s awful. I just use Firefox mobile + Adblock, which isn’t very nice to reddit, but at least allows a somewhat decent experience - except for missing features like /r/Subreddit/comments, for which you have to go in Desktop mode.

you can watch subs with age restricted content on mobile browsers, but you have to log in. But now you even have to login on desktop for age restricted subs.

The only immutable “distro” I use is SteamOS on the Steam deck, and already knowing that I will have to re-install networkmanager-openvpn annoys me.
